Finishing Blow is an ability in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire.

Description[ | ]

Items in italics are quoted directly from the game.

The rogue looks to finish off an injured opponent with a precise, deadly strike that increases in damage the more Health the target is missing.

Effects[ | ]

  • Target:
    Full Attack
  • Self:
    +50% Damage, +50% Damage by percentage of target's Health lost

Notes[ | ]

  • Ignore the 25% "Bonus Damage" in the ability inspect window, it does not apply.
  • To clarify the effect description:
    • Finishing Blow always grants a base of +50% (x1.5) bonus damage.
    • If the target's health is above 50%, no additional damage is added to this value.
    • If the target's health is 50% or lower, for each percentage below 50%, Finishing Blow gains an additional +3% damage. Eliminating Blow increases this bonus to +6%. The final multiplier is calculated with:
currentHealthRatio = currentHealth / maxHealth
diffHealthRatio = 0.5 - currentHealthRatio

damageMultiplier = 1.5 + (0.03 * diffHealthRatio * 100)
